Hello, this is BBC World News. Our top stories: there is gunfire on the | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
outskirts of Cairo. State media says security forces | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
have taken control of the town, but State media says security forces | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
there are ongoing clashes. President Bashar al-Assad says he will destroy | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Syria's chemical weapons, but warns that it could take a year and cost | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
$1 billion. Mexico is being warned that further | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
flooding devastation could be on the way. A cyclone is expected to hit | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
the storm ravaged coastline. And remember this little boy from | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
the horror movie The Shining? The bestselling author Stephen King | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
tells us how he grew up. Welcome. There has been gunfire on | :00:47. | :01:12. | |
the outskirts of Cairo as Egyptian security forces clash with militants | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
in the town of Kerdasa, a stronghold of the Muslim Brotherhood. The | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
security forces moved into the area early this morning and arrested | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
dozens of people, searching for Brotherhood leaders. The authorities | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
say they are looking for those responsible for killing 11 policemen | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
in the town last month. With me now is my colleague from BBC | :01:33. | :01:46. | |
Arabic. Since last August and the dispersal, the biggest challenge for | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Arabic. Since last August and the the police has been to keep Cairo | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
safe, and other areas. After some security incidents, the police | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
believe the Muslim Brotherhood are still able to undermine security, at | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
least in the capital and its outskirts. They also believe that a | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
number of the Muslim Brotherhood's leaders are still hiding in this | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
area. On August 14, there was a big incident where 11 policemen were | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
killed in a police station in this area which, for historic reasons, is | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
very supportive to the Muslim Brotherhood. So they decided to go | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
into day and end the situation. They have arrested a 48 members of the | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Muslim Brotherhood so far. Does this have arrested a 48 members of the | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
show the strength and determination of the Army, in that case? And does | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
it give us any idea of where the Brotherhood movement is right now? | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
This is very difficult. It is an Brotherhood movement is right now? | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
intelligence operation more than a military operation, because you | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
don't know how they are organised and how they will proceed in the | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
future. But in the past weeks, it was proven that they were able to | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
undermine security in the country. It is OK, maybe, that the Sinai | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
could be unstable and incidents could take place there. It is a very | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
complicated situation. But staging operations in Cairo and its | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
outskirts, we had a bomb alert this morning at the Metro station. So | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
this is very dangerous and it is the biggest challenge for the government | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
so far. Now, in Syria, the civil war, of | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
course, continues. Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, has | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
warned that it could take around a year to dismantle his stockpile of | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
chemical weapons. In an interview for the American network Fox News, | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
he insisted that he is still dedicated to the deal brokered by | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Russia last weekend. Last week, we joined the international agreement | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
for preventing chemical WMD. Part of this agreement is not to your these | :04:16. | :04:26. | |
arms, not to store and not to use, and of course not to distribute. And | :04:26. | :04:36. | |
part of it is to get rid of those materials. So of course, one we are | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
part of this agreement, we have to agree on that. But President Assad | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
has again denied any responsibility for the use of chemical weapons in | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
the suburb of Damascus which made headlines around the world. No one | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
has verified the credibility of the videos and the pictures. The only | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
verified things are the samples that the delegation took, samples of | :05:05. | :05:19. | |
lard. -- lard. -- of blood. They are forgeries. President Assad also | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
insisted that Syria was not in the grip of a civil war, but said it has | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
been attacked by thousands of foreign jihadist fighters allied to | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
Al-Qaeda. It is about what facts are presented in front of us. They don't | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
have Syrian grassroots. We have opposition in Syria, but they have | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
grassroot. Why do we have opposition abroad? Why do they leave? Who gives | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
them money? How are they financed? We all know that they belong to | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
Britain, France, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Real opposition only belongs | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
to the Syrian people. If it does not belong to those people, it is made | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
by other countries. President Assad, clearly trying to appeal to American | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
public opinion, which is something the Russian president, Vladimir | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Putin, also died, apparently with success, a few days ago, when he | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
published an opinion piece in the New York Times criticising the | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
United States. Now US Senator John McCain has responded to Vladimir | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Putin with his own opinion piece in Russia. He has taken to the Russian | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
website Pravda to accuse Mr Putin of ruining the corruption, oppression | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
and violence. He also criticised the Russian leader for backing President | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Assad of Syria, saying the support was destroying Russia's | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
international reputation. The piece is entitled, Russians deserve better | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
than Putin. We will have more on the Iranian's bid for public opinion in | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
the US soon. Clearly a diplomatic war being fought on all fronts, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
including on the international media stage. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Now, there is a warning that the hurricane which has been battering | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Mexico for the last few days is picking up speed and may turn into a | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
tropical cyclone will stop thousands of people have already been cut off | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
by landslides and flooding as storms hit both sides of the country almost | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
simultaneously. At least 80 people are known to have died, and | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
thousands of tourists have been rescued from the resort of Acapulco. | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
The crisis in the west of Mexico shows little sign of easing. After | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
being battered for days by Tropical Storm Manuel, this state has been | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
left on its knees and the authorities are struggling to cope | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
will stop all villages have in cut off by the floodwaters, and at least | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
80 people have been killed since the two storms struck Mexico, most of | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
them in this state. The Mexican president has confirmed that another | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
58 people are missing after homes in one municipality were buried under a | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
mudslide. The government said it was doing everything it could to reach | :08:09. | :08:18. | |
communities in Ramon rural regions. Transmission ah the precise | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
instruction from the president was to strengthen supplies for the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
instruction from the president was population and to start sending | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
teams to check the condition of housing for effect on people. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
Meanwhile, thousands of stranded tourists have also been battling | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
with the conditions. Many have spent several nights in emergency shelters | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
as the tourist resort of Acapulco is still cut off from Mexico City by | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
road. The government said more than 5000 tourists were airlifted to | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
safety over the course of the day, with many thousands more due to | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
return to the capital by the end of the week. Nevertheless, tempers have | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
been running high as frustration has grown. In some parts of Acapulco, | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
there was sporadic looting as the spirit residents raided flood | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
supermarkets. However, it was largely brought under control by the | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
authorities. Meanwhile, in the east of the country, the fallout from | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Hurricane Ingrid is still being felt as well. If the situation was not | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
already enough for the overstretched emergency teams, Tropical Storm | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Manuel has now been upgraded to a category one hurricane and is moving | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
north towards Baja, California. As we heard, President Assad has | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
taken to US airwaves, and Iran's As we heard, President Assad has | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
newly elected leader has also been As we heard, President Assad has | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
on a charm offensive on American television in his first Western | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
television interview since taking office. Hassan Rouhani said Iran has | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
never sought nuclear weapons. He told NBC that he had full authority | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
to negotiate with the West over his country's uranium enrichment | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
programme. He also said he had received a positive letter earlier | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
this year from President Obama. Our reporter in Istanbul said Iran's | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
recent actions have created a window for diplomacy. It creates an opening | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
which is being orchestrated by Hassan Rouhani himself. He has | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
managed to secure the release of several prominent political | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
prisoners, including a prominent human rights activist. He secured | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
the support from the supreme leader and has now broadcast his own | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
message directly to the American people via that interview with NBC. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Of course, NBC want to know, would Iran pursue nuclear weapons 's he | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
repeated Iran's position that it will not. TRANSLATION: We have never | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
sought a nuclear bomb, and we are not going to do so. We are solely | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
seeking peaceful nuclear technology. Can you say that Iran will not build | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
a nuclear weapons under any circumstances whatsoever? | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
TRANSLATION: The answer to this question is quite obvious. We have | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
time and again said that under no circumstances would we seek any | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons. Nor will | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
we ever. He is not the first Iranian leader | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
to say this. The supreme leader himself issued a religious ruling | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
several years ago expressively forbidding the Islamic Republic from | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
using nuclear weapons. You hear this at every round of nuclear talks. The | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
trouble is that at the moment, the West does not take Iran at its word. | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
But now, those negotiations will restart under Hassan Rouhani, and he | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
has designated his own Foreign Minister to start there's nuclear | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
talks. Now, Japan's prime minister, Shinzo | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Abe, has ordered the scrapping of two nuclear tests which survived an | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
earthquake and tsunami at Fukushima. The prime minister has been visiting | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
the plant at Fukushima. He has called for all leaks of contaminated | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
water to be fixed within six months. At he says he stands by his | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
reassurance that Tokyo is safe to host the 2020 Olympic games. | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
Police in Singapore have arrested 14 people in what appears to be a major | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
breakthrough in the battle against corruption in football. Interpol | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
said the suspected leader of an international match fixing gang was | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
among those detained during raids. The 12 men and two women are also | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
being investigated over possible links to organised crime. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Serious criticisms of the police investigation into an attack on a | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
British couple honeymooning in South Africa will be voiced in a BBC | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
documentary later today. Anni Dewani was shot and killed in Cape Town in | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
2010. Her husband is accused of orchestrating that attack. Now the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
BBC's Panorama programme has uncovered serious misgivings about | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
the forensic tests conducted by South African police. | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
This CCTV, never seen before, shows Anni Dewani's husband, Shrien | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Dewani, moments after learning his wife of just two weeks had been | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
found dead. When they said Anni had been shot, apparently, I just | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
started screaming hysterically. The same man South African policemen say | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
paid hit men to execute his wife. Now Panorama has obtained secret | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
police files relating to the case, which include statements, CCTV | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
footage, phone records and forensic evidence. We have given the material | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
to leading forensics experts to review. Their findings are damning. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
The South Africans have not carried out any experiments to support the | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
conclusions they came to. Panorama has discovered that statements from | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
three key witnesses, who have all struck deals with the South African | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
state in return for their testimony against Shrien Dewani, appear to | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
contradict factual records, like lists of phone calls and CCTV in the | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
police files. Their testimony gives accounts of calls that did not | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
happen, and stories which are disproved by video evidence. This is | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
not an investigation that would meet standards in this country. This | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
would not be considered good actors. They also failed to just test the | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
evidence, to corroborate the key fact and to challenge things that | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
were not corroborated that were central to the story. South African | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
police maintain that their forensic and postmortem evidence proves that | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Anni Dewani was cowering against the back seat when the gunman | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
deliberately shot her from the front passenger seat. But the experts | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
commissioned by Panorama went to flaws in how the South Africans | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
carried out their investigation, and say Anni Dewani may have been | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
accidentally shot. If it was a deliberate shot, I would have | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
expected a shock to the head or the heart, not one that struck the neck. | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
It is an unusual place for an assassination. On that basis alone, | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
I would veer towards an accidental discharge rather than a deliberate | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
shooting. We put our findings discharge rather than a deliberate | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
South African authorities. They say it would be improper to engage with | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
the media on the merits of the case, as trial by media would violate | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Shrien Dewani's right to a trial. Members of Anni's family have also | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
criticised the BBC for conduct in what they say is a trial by | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
television. Anni's family have called on Shrien Dewani to return to | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
South Africa to answer the charges. He denies all charges of murder and | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
remains sectioned under the mental health act. | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Still to come, we meet the cyclist who has opened the land speed record | :15:46. | :15:57. | |
for a human powered vehicle. Let's see how he did it. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
There was a role in the Nigerian house of representatives. | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
Politicians exchanged punches after a splinter group from the ruling | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
party tried to address parliament. The chaos lasted ten months -- ten | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
minutes. Not an ideal starter for Parliament | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
in Nigeria. The lower house had only just reconvened after a seven-week | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
rate. During Tuesday's session, arguments are Rob did. The trouble | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
was sparked by a newly formed splinter group. They don't want good | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
luck Jonathan to seek re-election in 2015. He has not confirmed if he | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
will stand. The group trying to address parliament infuriated MPs | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
loyal to the President. Since the address parliament infuriated MPs | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
end of military rule in 1999, the party has won every national | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
election, but if they cannot stamp out their infighting, it could have | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
huge implications for Africa's largest oil-producing nation. | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
Washington, DC's capital has ordered a review following a BBC report that | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
an armed police team was instructed not to respond to Monday's mass | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
shooting. A tactical response team was told to leave the scene. Sources | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
have told the BBC they could have saved lives had they been allowed to | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
go in. Aaron Alexis killed 12 people. | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
It is the equivalent of a SWAT team that arrived on site about 15 | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
minutes of initial reports of shots fired. An officer who requested | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
assistance, they were told they the only officers on the scene who had | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
sold rifles. They are highly trained marksmen. They radioed in to say | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
they would be engaging in the search, but they were told by | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
officers to stand down and leave the area. | :18:20. | :18:33. | |
CCTV footage in Colombia at a hospital showed the moment when | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
gunmen burst in to free a prisoner being held there. | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
The latest headlines: Egyptian security forces are clashing with | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
militants after entering a town on the outskirts of Cairo. There are | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
reports troops with armoured vehicles took up positions in car | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
dash before dawn today. Syria's president says he is ready | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
to destroy his chemical weapons, but denied his troops have used them in | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
the past. The European Union's Mission in | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Kosovo says one of its police officers has been shot and killed. | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
It said the incident happened in the Serb region of Kosovo when two EU | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
vehicles were fired on. It did not give the nationality of the officer. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 1998. But a lot of the | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
Serbian population does not accept that. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
There has been violent protests in Greece just hours before the funeral | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
of a musician. Thousands of protesters took to the streets to | :19:41. | :19:54. | |
protest against the stabbing. The streets of Athens are quiet this | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
morning after ugly scenes near the capital, but in other cities across | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
Greece last night as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
protesting against the murder of 35-year-old pub loss fits us, who | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
was stabbed to death outside a cafe by a man who admitted being a member | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party. They raided the party headquarters, | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
even Golden Dawn said it did not have any links with the crime. This | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
morning the funeral is taking place and there was said to be a speech | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
later on by the leader of Golden Dawn, near the murder site. That | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
could incite more violence. Golden Dawn is a party that has soared in | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
popularity during the financial crisis, getting 18 MPs in last year | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
's election. It is accused of vigilante attacks on immigrants and | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
political opponents. But there is pressure to clamp down on this | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
party. The government stands accused of being too soft towards it, even | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
siding with it on some issues. But now there is pressure here and in | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
Brussels to try to clamp down on it. An Austrian MEP said Greece's up and | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
coming presidency of the European Union could be threatened and less | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
Greece deals with golden dawn. The minister for public order said there | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
would be a discussion in the coming weeks to a redefinition of unarmed | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
criminal gang here, it implying Golden Dawn could get back | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
classification and suggesting the idea of a ban. The idea of a ban. | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
But that could be difficult. The government feels if you ban Golden | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Dawn, it could drive it underground. But last night, the tear gas and | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
stun grenades showed the depth of anger towards this neo-Nazi party. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
Said the government is under pressure to clamp down on one of the | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
more dangerous manifestations of Greece's financial crisis. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Stephen King is one of the world 's most famous authors. One of his most | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
famous model 's, -- novels is the shining tells the story of Danny | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Torrance who has psychic powers. We reveal what happened to Danny when | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
he grew up. People kept asking me, I would go to | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
autograph sessions and they would say, " what ever happened to that | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
kid from the shining? " I have never say, " what ever happened to that | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
been one to revisit the past, particularly revisiting the scary | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
book 's. I feel like a lot of people read those books under the covers | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
with flashlights when they were children themselves, 12, 14 years | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
old. You need people to say, I read that book, the shining and it scared | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
the hell out of me. Doctor sleep starts a year after the hotel | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
overlooking is destroyed at the end of the shining. Dan Torrance is just | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
a little book in the shining. I was curious about what would happen to | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
him. Did you like the film of The | :23:14. | :23:36. | |
Shining? No, it was cold. One of the things people relate to in my books | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
is a warmth and the reaching out saying to the reader, " I want you | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
to be a part of this". I thought it was very cold. Whenever you come in | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
here and interrupt me, you are disrupting Mike Com -- | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
concentration. Jack Torrance, in the movie is seen as crazy. Shelley | :24:01. | :24:09. | |
Duvall as Wendy is one of the most misogynistic carrot is put on film. | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
She is basically put on there to scream and be stupid. Do you think | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
people are harder to scare now? It is still possible to scare people in | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
an honourable way if they care about the characters. I want people to | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
fall in love with these characters. It creates the suspense. | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
Stephen King, much too terrifying for me. A Dutch cyclist has broken | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
the land speed record for a human powered vehicle. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
He was competing in the United States. He reached speeds of 133.78 | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
kilometres an hour on a desert road, which is one of the fastest surfaces | :25:00. | :25:07. | |

books. On a desert road in Nevada, this | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
Dutch cyclist set off, with a little help. His goal? To become the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
fastest cyclist in a human powered vehicle. His high-tech bike was | :25:26. | :25:34. | |
designed by students from two Dutch universities. He is riding on one of | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
the straightest, smoothest surfaces in the world. Hitting the | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
all-important 200 metre stretch of the road, he reaches a maximum and | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
record-breaking velocity of 138 .7 kilometres an hour. No way. | :25:52. | :26:08. | |
TRANSLATION: I started 300 wards at 110 kilometres. I went 20 kilometres | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
